The chapter reveals the protagonist's terminal diagnosis and their internal struggle with seeking affection versus avoiding burdening their family. They express a desire for Millaion to remain indifferent to their condition to avoid potential guilt, and a recollection of a book with a memory-erasing charm. The protagonist also has the ability to bring things to life through art, and is suffering from a kind of 'art disease' that may be connected to their failing health. The chapter ends with Millaion directly confronting them about the illness and its severity.
